Initially, most of these ideas were meant for ceramics, but the reminder of the Battle of the Rings sparked the idea for a metal version. This piece, my first metal teapot, was crafted with tools improvised to adjust to the smaller scale and giddy feeling you get when working through a new process while only sort of knowing what you're doing but doing it anyway. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist Bio: \u003c\/strong\u003eI am a mixed media sculptor and jeweler with an interest in creating work that explores our interactions as people with objects around us, specifically with the personal value placed on inherently non-valuable objects. I explore these connections by creating ornate containers and vessels for said objects. I received a BFA in Spatial Art from SJSU, where I studied woodworking, ceramics, and non-ferrous metalsmithing among other media which I use to create ornate housing for mundane objects. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTeam Shanks - Representing Team - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/embed\/AkHaYhEtMMo?feature=share\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSusie Ganch\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"315\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/embed\/AkHaYhEtMMo?feature=share\"\u003e\n\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ring is part of Battle of the Rings: Ring Smackdown 2026, an exhibition and online competition.
